AI in Software Development:
Tool, Not Replacement

Generative AI has become a game-changer in software development, offering tools that enhance productivity and streamline workflows. However, it’s not a replacement for developers—it’s a powerful assistant. While AI can generate code, suggest improvements, and act as an interactive manual, it still requires skilled developers to guide and refine its output. In this article, I’ll discuss how AI is reshaping the development process, why it demands deeper expertise, and why tailored solutions remain essential to avoid cookie-cutter results.

My GenAI Experiment:
Building a Website with Authentic Content and AI Support

My new website is live, and it’s the result of a successful collaboration with AI. While the content of my articles remains entirely human-written, I’ve used AI to handle the tedious grunt work—styling with SCSS, creating Astro components, generating logos, and even crafting article summaries. DeepSeek and Gemini played key roles in this process, helping me refine designs and maintain a consistent style across the site. In this article, I’ll share how I balanced authentic content creation with AI-powered efficiency, and why this approach has been a game-changer for me.

Building My New Website with AI:
A Fun Experiment

As I work on my new website, I’ve turned to AI tools to help streamline the process. Using Astro as the foundation and sticking to simple HTML and SCSS, I’ve been building the site piece by piece with AI’s assistance. While the task isn’t overly complex, the AI has been a valuable partner, helping me create a clean, static site efficiently. In this article, I’ll share my experience using AI for web development, the challenges I faced, and why I’m excited to explore its potential further for more complex projects.
